Digital Inks & Colors

Using Illustrator, I vectored out the lines and the shapes (or digitally inked and colored, as I call it) to give it a more solid and flat look. The monochromatic version was done only after completing the colored version, changing the colors to emulate ink on paper.

About Me

I’m JP B. Bantigue—a designer, digital illustrator, and longtime comic art enthusiast. Inks & Colors is where I return to the craft of inking and digital coloring, often working over existing linework to bring characters and scenes to life. Whether it’s a commission, a tribute, or an experimental study, I find joy in tracing lines with purpose and layering colors to build mood and texture.
